Which stage comes immediately after selection in the human resource cycle?

  1. Performance

  2. Appraisal

  3. Rewards

  4. Training and development

The correct answer is: Performance

After the selection stage in the human resource cycle, the immediate subsequent stage is training and development. Once candidates are selected, it's essential to ensure that they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their roles effectively. This is accomplished through various training programs designed to enhance their abilities and align their performance with the organization's objectives. This stage is crucial as it prepares new employees for their responsibilities, fosters their growth within the company, and boosts overall productivity. Training can include orientation programs, on-the-job training, professional development courses, and mentorship. The options pertaining to performance, appraisal, and rewards follow after training has occurred. Performance management assesses how well employees are doing in their roles after they have been trained, while appraisal evaluates their contributions formally. Rewards are typically considered following these evaluations, where employees are recognized or compensated based on their performance.
